Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / March 2004GPRS from Prepaid GSM
Do any of the Australian GSM mobile phone companies/service providers offer GPRS on their PREPAID mobile phone plans? > Do any of the Australian GSM mobile phone companies/service providers offer > GPRS on their PREPAID mobile phone plans? Yes, Vodafone and Optus (but GPRS WAP/MMS only, not Internet). Settings and pricing details here: http://www.ausmobile.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=lis tarticles&secid=2 Jeremy, Thanks for the lead. Great site you've put together there! Do you need some Telstra parameters for GPRS? If so, I think I can help. PS: I tried the Virgin GPRS but it looks like they've caught up with you. I couldn't get any joy. > > Do any of the Australian GSM mobile phone companies/service providers > offer [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Settings and pricing details here: http://www.ausmobile.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=lis tarticles&secid=2 > Jeremy, > > Thanks for the lead.

Yep the Telstra GPRS settings would be great, I don't have a Telstra plan which is why I don't have them (only a prepaid SIM because I am a "pov druggy child"). If you could email me at jqr@ [the ausmobile domain] Cheers Jeremy Quirke http://www.ausmobile.com errr I have Communica8 and I have full GPRS facilites... go to communic8 site and you can activate it online... theres a switch (old fashioned) on the main page... cheers ;) anyone confirm MMS now works on Communic8 ? > > Jeremy, > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Jeremy Quirke > http://www.ausmobile.com Is your Communic8 prepaid or postpaid? > errr I have Communica8 and I have full GPRS facilites... > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Jeremy Quirke > > http://www.ausmobile.com communic8 prepaid......just got optus tv on my prepaid optus now too! wahoo! free tv for a month... cheers ;) > Is your Communic8 prepaid or postpaid? > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > Jeremy Quirke > > > http://www.ausmobile.com I've looked at the Communic8 website and that old-fashioned "switch" on the front page. Sure, I can use it to activate WAP over the voice network. But WAP over GPRS... do you REALLY have that on your prepaid? Telstra customer service says WAP over GPRS on prepaid ain't available. > communic8 prepaid......just got optus tv on my prepaid optus now too! wahoo! > free tv for a month... [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > > > Jeremy Quirke > > > > http://www.ausmobile.com Ok now I wouldnt be exactly sure its GPRS but here are the settings that r in my phone; Connection Name: telstra WAP Data Bearer: GPRS (looked here its not GSM so I assumed its GPRS, am I wrong?) Access point name: telstra.wap.mnc001.mcc505.gprs User Name : blank Password: blank Authentication: Secure Gateway: 10.1.1.150 Homepage: Blank Connection Security: Off Session Mode: permanent so i think its GPRS....anyone know for sure? cheers ;) > I've looked at the Communic8 website and that old-fashioned "switch" on the > front page.

They say that the Telstra accounting system can't handle it. The Data guy, who sounded very knowledgeable, also added that he believes Telstra is losing many customers to Optus Prepaid GPRS as a result of this problem. He really wants a fix quickly from the Telstra IT people. I should have asked him about whether the IT team is based in Bangalore! So a_dude, it looks like you're very lucky! > That sure looks like GPRS. They're the same settings that I use on my > Telstra Postpaid GPRS service.

That would be because it wants the PDP context released I would imagine (or perhaps an IMSI-attach). Anyway, I've asked for MMS on the prepaid to see what happens.. still getting PDP Context Activation Reject's for the WAP AP though. > > here this might help... > > apparently you have to 'activate' MMS by sending yourself an MMS [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Anyway, I've asked for MMS on the prepaid to see what happens.. still > getting PDP Context Activation Reject's for the WAP AP though. i should mention it was a bitch to get going took 2 phone calls to connect it but i can say I was on gprs...thats for communc8...you might remember my previous post last month about it and how i recorded THAT conversation...and about the recording laws with Rod.... cheers ;) Is this tip for Optus Zoo or for Telstra Communic8 Prepaid? I'm confused by your follow-up message. Do you actually have GPRS working with your Communic8 Prepaid SIM? > here this might help... > apparently you have to 'activate' MMS by sending yourself an MMS twice...the [quoted text clipped - 119 lines] > > > > > > > > > Jeremy Quirke > > > > > > > > > http://www.ausmobile.com yeah ignore the posts before...its for Optus Zoo... but this month, MMS has been activated on Prepaid Communica8. Just go to the site..activate MMS and the GPRS settings are sent...punch in your prepaid number and see....last month it wouldnt work....last week it did... thats what I done...and thats the settings its sent me... sorry for the confusion, but at the moment, Im using Optus Zoo...showing mates the TV on ma ngage, and seeing them red with envy.... and already 2 of em bought a 6600....lol cheers ;) > Is this tip for Optus Zoo or for Telstra Communic8 Prepaid? > [quoted text clipped - 135 lines] > > > > > > > > > > Jeremy Quirke > > > > > > > > > > http://www.ausmobile.com > Do any of the Australian GSM mobile phone companies/service > providers offer GPRS on their PREPAID mobile phone plans? Only povs, druggys and children are stupid enough to bother with prepaid. Presumably you are all of the above. Buddy, you're boring, predictable and have nothing to contribute.
